Dear John Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Temples of Boom, 1995 Album by Cypress Hill
When I got hold of this album I honesty did not expect to be that good. It so happened that I first got acquainted with Cypress Hill albums released in 1999 and 2000, and only then moved on to their earlier releases. And, the early releases were rather good, …
MGMT - Electric Feel (Song)
MGMT is a band that I’ve just started to listen to, and the first song which really got me hooked on them would have to be Electric Feel. Coming from their first record, Oracular Spectacular, Electric Feel is certainly a track to be an accurate representation of that album …
Nine Inch Nails - Suck (Song)
Suck is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their EP Broken. Suck starts off with a fairly slow to moderate tempo with synthesizers having the main rhythm which gives the track that very characteristic industrial and eerie tone which has become associated with Nine Inch Nails. …
Mothership Album by Led Zeppelin
I don’t think I still need to spell it out…just by the name Led Zeppelin you will know how great and how amazing this album can be, you will just unconsiously tell yourself “this is going to be an incredible album!”.
The BBC Session Album is my most favorite remastered …
The Velvet Underground and Nico
I’m a great believer that it’s the little things in life that make us who we are. Little signposts that send us off in different directions. This is the album that played a big part in changing my life.
I’m 16, just bought this strange album with a …
Reflections of Nature Dreamstorm CD

Madonna’s Hard Candy
I would like to retract my perhaps harsh previous review of Madonna. I found myself glancing at the top 20 billboard chard for 2008 so far and decided to buy the full album and listen to it in its entirety; I had previously heard quite a bit of it, …
GO GO GO Beauty
Usually, I avoid character songs. Not that I hate them, or that they’re always bad, but they just sound odd sometimes. But Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei already has the girls singing in the openings and endings. One of my favorite character songs of theirs is this song, by Yuu Kobayashi.
It …
All Hope Is Gone, 2009 Album by Slipknot
I actually like this album a lot. As far as Slipknot is concerned, I wasn’t that very impressed by the album that was called Volume 3 The Subliminal Verses. I thought that that music was not very effective on that album. On All Hope Is Gone Slipknot are complete …
Ultra Beatdown by Dragonforce
Well, it is finally here, the new Dragonforce album and I have to say it, the album is just ok. It is not their best work, but hey, it is Dragonforce and it still sounds good.

Megadeth - Holy Wars… The Punishment Due (Music Video)
Overview —“ Holy Wars—¦ The Punishment Due, the lead off track of Megadeth’s most acclaimed record, Rust In Peace, is only one of nine examples of why this album is praised to highly. Although not the only reason why this album was so good, but definitely one of the …
Dreams from The Corrs
Dreams from The Corrs is awesome. The Corrs is at their most peak/popular during the late 1999s or early 2000s, I’m not so sure. In between those times, I was so heavily into buying their CD singles and albums.
Their songs are very Irish-influenced since they hail …
Don’t Trust Me by 3OH!3
Don’t Trust Me by 3OH!3 (pronounced 303) is a great song that has recently come out. However, due to its popularity, the song has become slightly overplayed. I had this song recommended to me on itunes months before it became popular and now it played so frequently, …
Radiohead - Go To Sleep (Song)

The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey - Closer (2016 Song)
The Chainsmokers is definitely everyone’s favorite feel-good hitmaker right now. I have been a huge fan since Roses and I would really like to eliminate their song #Selfie from their discography because that song is atrocious and a disgrace in the music industry. So did this new Halsey collaboration …
Song : Soul On The Line by Connor Garvey
I was on the way home from work this evening when a gentle, lilting little love song came through the speakers. I was listening to Sirius radio which came with the car we just bought and decided to settle onto The Coffeehouse Channel. “Soul On The Line” …
America’s Got Talent: Nuttin But Strings

Now 71 by Various Artists

Ciara ft. Young Jeezy
“Never Ever”
Fantasy Ride
LaFace Records

MGMT - Money To Burn (Song)
Money To Burn is the third track on MGMT’s debut record, Climbing To New Lows. What I mentioned about the previous track, We Care, is that the song features frequently changing dynamics from a loud intro, to a quiet verse, to a building pre-chorus, to a loud chorus. However, …
Buckethead - Electric Tears
Overview —“ Electric Tears, Buckethead’s ninth album would have to be one of my favorite instrumental albums that I’ve listened to and definitely one of the calmest and most melodic as well. I’ll say right now from the start of this review and that this album really isn’t for …
Megadeth - Five Magics (Song)
Five Magics is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Rust In Peace. The track starts off with an extremely aggressive riff from the guitars accompanied by a pounding bass and drum rhythm. After this brief assault of thrash metal, the track goes somewhat quieter with the …
Three Imaginary Boys, 1979 Album by The Cure
It is probably not very often to encounter for a band like the Cure to be criticized, or even to not be praised, but I think that some of their albums are not very good, and this one, their 1979 debut Three Imaginary Boys is such a record.
I think …

Duffy : Rockerferry
When trying to make a review of Duffy’s first album, I had a pessimist. At least, almost the same as new artists. However, when trying to hear a few songs on this album, I was a little shocked. Rockerferry is placed as the opening song, bringing the atmosphere to …
The Flaming Lips (band)

Demi Lovato - Skyscraper (Song)

Soldier Side Intro is the opening track of System Of A Down’s album Mezmerize, the first half of their double record Mezmerize/Hypnotize. Just as some background information, Mezmerize starts off with the track Soldier Side Intro while Hypnotize ends with the track Soldier Side so this is one of …
Red Rubber Ball by The Cyrkle
“Red Rubber Ball” by The Cyrkle is pretty much the only song from this group that appeals to me. It is a pity that this song is on the short side with a running time of around two minutes and twenty two seconds and in that two minutes and …

Take That -Shine - Music Video

Attak 2002 Album by KMFDM
Attak is a great piece of music. If you haven’t yet heard about this album, and about the band KMFDM, it is quite possible that not many roads will lead you to this piece of music, but that would be a real loss for any music lover, and I …

Brad Maule: Chameleon CD
Unlike his first CD, Living It Up, Brad Maule: Chameleon CD doesn’t have quite the country feel to it that I so enjoyed. It’s a bit edgier and a bit more … well, I’m going to say average. I feel that he’s a better singer than what …

30 Seconds to Mars

The Doors - L.A. Woman
Overview - L.A. Woman, The Door’s final album while Jim Morrison was alive, is an album that has a lot of blues influence to it, which I wasn’t a huge fan of, but also some of the best songs The Doors have ever put out. Morrison’s death truly is …

My Life (the Game, featuring Lil Wayne)
I am kind of getting tired of hearing songs and seeing videos by rappers who are talking about how tough their lives are in the hood. The reason is that so many rappers and hip-hop artists believe that being from the streets requires a certain type of …
